Topic: Anyone still using their 450d? (Read 9402 times)

For an old SLR I still wish I had my old XTi. Even more simple and actually great image quality under iso 800. And I just loved the shutter quality. It was quiet and muted, yet very solid feeling. I eventually worked up to a T2i which I still keep to this day. I let the kids take it with them to granny's house with a 50 1.4

The XSi is my first and only dslr(since dec 2009) but I'm seriously considering upgrading to a 6D. I primarily shoot outdoor sports nowadays(used to do birds in flight) and with the 70-200mm f/2.8 is ii, it's perfect.. in daylight. Reason I'm considering upgrading to the 6D is for the ISO and low light performance. But even if I get the 6D, I'm still going to keep the XSi as a backup body. I agree with celltech on that I don't think it is worth it to sell.

Had an XSI as my first camera, upgraded a couple months later to a T1i when some guy offered me more then I paid for it. I would definitely recommend going for the T1i, I've used photos from it for magazine covers and the greater iso range helps a lot.

I've had mine since June 2009, and still use it to this day. I recently used it extensively during the TT Races in the Isle of Man back in June, and at that point I realized my XSI was lagging behind in AF, burst mode, and RAW buffer, even with L-glass attached. It's still a great DSLR, and one I plan on keeping for years to come to use as a back-up when I upgrade to a newer camera. My brother just yesterday offered to sell his 7D to me for a reasonable price, so I've been seriously considering his offer.
